Reading the reviews below I realized that how good this beer is depends on being lucky or not.
I was both.
I got an extremely fermented one, lost something like 1/4 of the beer when I opened it (reason why I removed 0.5 star from "overall".
But for all the other things, this beer was really good. It has a nice dark ocher color and a big head (over fermentation). The head in the beginning smelled just like condiments (dry tomato and olives) and yeast, really nice. As the foam went down and the beer warmed up a bit, some sweet (caramel on the highlight) and fruity (specially cherry) notes came.
The taste has more of a sweet malty character in the beginning; and a fruity aftertaste. Notes of yeast and condiments as well.
Body was at good level, a bit creamy actually; and the over fermentation gave some effervescence to the beer (well, I like that).
Alcohol has some effect, and it's not at all unpleasant in this beer.

A golden yellow beer with a big creamy head.
Smell is fruity with solvent notes from the yeast. It smells like a crossover between Westmalle and Duvel. Spicy with pears and apple. There is a trace of oxidation there as well.
Taste is fruity and has some phenolic notes. The solvent is more muted than expected from the smell. There is a nice bitterness which balances the beer. Drinkability is good and mouthfeel is smooth and according to style.

Did they cook this brew? Anyway the horror starts with pooring this in. No foam or at least not for longer than a few seconds. Clear golden color is nice though. Smell ten, jee wha a DMS smell, oxidised malts too. Further a wort smell, is it fermented? Well after the first sip you know it is, but a horrible as the smell, taste is. Oxidised too, my god what can I say more. Just go fast to the sink.

Smell of vanilla, cream, hops and flowers (maybe a little rotten??). At the taste it is too sweet, with a lot of honey, and a hint of almond and marzapane. Unbalanced, too much carbonated, and with strong flavour of pear too much aged... It tastes a little stale. There's no much left to do about this beer. Poorly tendent to mediocrity.
